Types of Mushroom, Onions & Garlic

Onions are the vegetable which gave Chicago its name since the Chippewa Indians found these "she-gau-ga-winshe" growing at the site of the modern day city.

The name onion comes from the Latin, "unio" via the French "oignon" and the English "unyun." The onion plant belongs to the same family as the narcissus.
